This is a GREAT module- thank you! Just a small issue--I've successfully configured the FFmpeg helper and have auto video conversion working, file permissions ok, etc. However, after cron runs and I play the video the flowplayer progress bar doesn't move and the time length doesn't display (it always says 00:00/00:00). In FFmpeg helper settings I've ticked "Enable playtime helper", but to no avail.

has anyone else seen this?

again, many thanks!

Just to clarify: it's actually the seeking bar (not the progress bar) that doesn't function correctly.

but ... are you able to play the video?

yes, sorry if I wasn't clear -- it does play.

And besides the seek bar, all of the other controls work fine (play/pause, resize, volume).

The issue is addressed on the encoding page of FlowPlayer.

Solution: Make sure you have valid video duration metadata in your FLV files. There is OpenSource tool called FLVTool2 that can fix the metadata of a FLV file.
